Most people here have no idea what these people are actually like in real life. I know Erik had an encounter with IJP a while back, but if you're gonna hate on someone, at least give reasoning for it. And I am surprised about the dislike of the Molinari brothers. Perhaps jealously at their success? I don't know.

Who said anyone is hating anyone here? This is a game. I didn't pick the Molinari brothers because I hate them. I like everyone on the list, but I personally picked them because out of all of the players on the list I like them the least.

Just wondering why he isn't a guy you'd root for?

Just wondering why he isn't a guy you'd root for?

He never closes off a game.

I watched one tournament this year and he was leading going down the back 9 and it ended up in a 3 man playoff (Gydos was in it) I'm not that big into people who out-muscle courses too, I like watching luke donald play, He's not a long hitter but is a good ball striker. Same with Jiminez. He doesn't have the same appeal as Mickleson, Mickleson finds it hard to close off games and tries to out-muscle the course (and it ends up blowing up in his face) But he has an amazing short game and I love watching his chip-shots.

Even without his comment, I think it's pretty obvious none of us are rooting for the guys we're voting against. Why don't you root for Luke Donald? He seems like a nice guy.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
